There was a report a couple of days ago that implied that immigration reform is going to the back burner because of the current economic (and employment losses) climate.

That may be semi good news.

Like with Bush 2, he tried to get amnesty passed in 2002, but the climate after the 911 attacks did not lend itself to Comprehensive Immigration. Then, of course, Bush tried again in 2006 but the House stopped that one. And again, twice in 2007, when the public melted down the Senate switchboard with opposition phone calls.

With unemployment hitting 15 year highs, it will be difficult for the Obama admin to say we have unfilled jobs Americans won’t do [unless they are UAW, of course (lol)].

That's excellent news. I hadn't heard that - I thought it was still one of those 100 days things. I've said all along we need a recession so the masses realize how much illegals cost us. Once everyone is worried about their own jobs and their children's future, then they'll think about the cost of importing poverty and people unwilling to assimilate. People were too complacent about this.
